“Cyber Stockholm Syndrome” is a single from Sawayama’s debut EP "RINA", and was released on March 23, 2017.
In an email to The FADER, Rina explained:
""Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" is happy and sad, honest and autobiographical, and I feel like I’ve truly written from the heart from the first time. It took two years of rewriting and revising as I wrestled with the beauty and anxiety of digital life. Before, I saw the internet as a captor of our time and free will. But now, I see embracing a positive relationship with our online selves as an act of self-preservation and defiance. In this age, the digital world can offer vital support networks, voices of solidarity, refuge, escape. Marginalised people or socially anxious people like myself can, in fact, be freed. That’s what ‘Cyber Stockholm Syndrome’ is about: pessimism, optimism, anxiety, and freedom.”
”It’s a journey about how the internet makes me feel and how it relates to joy in a different way. And then, at the end, just being OK with the fact that things are always going to be a little bit shit.”
– Rina to FADER
